TA Report: West Hartford Reservoir

The Res is still open! We rode the blue trail, taking all the side trails into and out of the woods, took a right at Reflector Man onto a nice, swoopy, smooth (by Res Standards) singletrack that dumped us out on the powerline. Our plan was to take the fence line back, but it was closed at the old water tank, forcing us to ride back to the parking lot on the paved road (in the wrong direction).After the ride we went out to eat, where Paula had a bowl of soup, and I had a man-sized calzone.

Our Mission

The Central Connecticut chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (CCT NEMBA) is a community of mountain bikers and trail advocates dedicated to advancing the sport of mountain biking in Connecticut. Since 1997 we have worked with land managers to build, maintain, and improve legal trails and support appropriate trail use. We organize rides, offer educational trail schools to all trail users, and build relationships within the mountain bike community of riders, trail builders, shops, advocates, and others. We support mountain biking because it is a fun, healthy activity that all ages and abilities can enjoy.
